It's not square anymore

My quilt isn't square anymore. I liked it round, but square is better for practical purposes. I think I have a name for it too, how does "Inside the Square" sound? "Doing the Rounds" was another suggestion.

I am really enjoying sewing down the bias, and it's going on much better than I anticipated. I've also been thinking about what comes next, something for the corners. I cut paper to test ideas.........a few going on in this pic. The diamond isn't right, but I like the flower and circles design.

We have finally had a wonderful rainy weekend, maybe some cold weather will come soon too.

Oh, honey, I can send you all the cold weather you want. I'm SICK of it already, and I've only been home 1.5 weeks! I'm just loving your quilt. The flower is perfect! I absolutely can't wait to see it finished. XO

Great to hear your thinking Susan and I love the corner flower and dots idea! That bias vine border is so yummy. Either name would be good I think:)We have had a couple of cold mornings recently - like 5 degrees for my walk this morning - definitely a woolly gloves walk! I love it - makes me feel energised. Glad you enjoyed some rain.

Oh I love it Susan....beautiful! I really like "Doing the Rounds" Loving the flower/circles template. I do the same gives you a better idea of what it looks like. We've had a few showers here too....cooler thank goodness x

About Me

I have been consumed by patchwork since I started my first quilt in 1994. I love hand piecing, hand quilting and stitcheries. When I'm not sewing,I'm enjoying my family - one lovely husband, three wonderful boys, and a sweet little dog. I am a fair weather gardener,and a constant renovator, but it usually all comes back to the stitching in the end!
